Ladders ain't easy.
How did he transport a 10ft ladder from the store to the rally site?
He had a car, right? Not a truck or a van?
Im just trying to imagine this kid ratchet-strapping this ladder to the roof of his honda (or whatever). Because if you don't even get THAT part right, the ladder falls off before you get to your location.
Maybe Home Depot has the footage of him doing all that fumbling in their parking lot?
This is beyond clowny.
Kid must have gotten paid. The ladder in question is like this one. $350 bucks

I have 2 of those. Those ladders are exceptionally heavy. 22ft is 44ft worth of aluminum, plus rungs. HEAVY
I could never transport one on top of or inside of a car.
Agree, father in law has one at the cabin. He has me climb the 44ft up the side to clean the gutters. Takes both of us to walk it up.
Right. Because its built with an A-frame, its like carrying 2 ladders at once.
And the ladder somehow fit in/on his compact car? And he had a bike there too. And he's single-handedly carrying that ladder AND rifle? And then at long range with seemingly no training and no scope on his rifle can make a headshot?
No form of mathematics can make this add up.
Carrying a rifle and the ladder at the same time by himself is certainly possible, pretty simple actually. Reach one arm through a gap between rungs, sit a rung on top of your shoulder, then (with the same arm) grab a rung further down the ladder to steady it. This would leave your other arm free to carry a rifle. The ladder linked above weighs about 35-40 pounds and is only about 6 feet tall when it’s not extended and up to 22 feet when fully extended,
As for transporting it to the rally, it wouldn’t fit inside a compact car and would would be a huge pain to secure to the roof, but I’ve heard he drove a van (haven’t seen it though). Media is also saying that the ladder he bought that morning has not been found and that he got onto the roof by climbing up from on top of the A/C handler. There are photos of a ladder there at that building, but it is a 10 foot tall, orange fiberglass step ladder.
I have heard that he was spotted walking through the field with his rifle but haven’t heard anyone say they saw him carrying a ladder,
Hyundai Sonata and a bicycle we are told.
There's a discrepancy with the ladder.
Original report was he bought a 5 ft ladder.
There's a pic of a ladder at the building, but it's much bigger.
We don't know when that pic was taken. We did see a bunch of LEO on that roof after he was killed..... so is it their ladder?
We basically have a few snapshots of him over 30 - 60 minutes.
We still have big gaps.
The bicycle may open things up. People may remember a kid on a bike loaded down even if they didn't see his face
